High tides: 'The Cove' to play in some theaters soon

Japanator: Once again I'm quite surprised that I'm here bringing you another quick, yet important, update on The Cove situation. After the initial news of the cancellations, and the report that the film would stream on Nico Nico Douga, I was under the impression that all the hubbub had essentially been put to rest. Well, you know what they say about assuming.

It looks as if Unplugged Inc., the Japanese distributor of The Cove, has secured 6 theaters that will be screening the picture beginning July 3. The theaters will be located in Tokyo, Osaka, Sendai, Yokohama, Kyoto and Hachinohe in Aomori Prefecture.
